I like the English football. Premiere League games for example are much more interesting than continental league games.

English players just don't dive and cheat that much as for example italians do, they play tough.

They'll do better without Sven Goran Ericson

Clyde SSB (Whatever).................actually pal your anti English chip on the shoulder is pathetic, but nothing us English haven't heard before. If you want the truth most of us laugh at it when a Scot slags us off as we know it's pure sour grapes. I'm proud to be English and proud to be British.........alienate yourself if you like, you won't be missed

hey England is great : the country, the peoples, the football team ( look at david beckham, he is sooo
sweet!!!! )!!! Oh i forget the queen
uniform england is good but germany. the silliest land in this universum!
have you ever seen Mrs. merkel? have you seen her stupid face? and she is our chancellor? never!

I think many agree with me that England was the most boring team of the tournament.

(possibly, swisserland and the ukraine were quite negative though)

The players were highly overrated,

(not true, most of our players are amongst the best in the world)

the team didn't work

(true)

and play extremely lazy,

(in the group games we werent lazy, it was the tactics that made it look that way, and in out last game we certainly weren't lazy)

dull, unattractive football,

(true)

the supporters are extremely silly (they only thing they do is sing God save the queen).

(Not quite sure what you mean by silly, you mean we where funny hats and do funny walks or something? Anyway your off the mark, we have the most numerous and the most passionate fans in the entire world)

We're all glad they were kicked out (by a tiny nation), we all deserve it.

(I cant imagine many countries being too bothered about our exit thats true. Portugal isnt that small a nation, plus as long as you have a populous of over 40,000 then the size of your country doesnt matter in footballing terms, more important is the mentality of the nation)

Moreover, it once again shows that Britain should not be considered to be European. It is a foggy obscure island in the North Atlantic somewhere

(Britain is only 20 miles from France at the nearest point so you could hardly say we are adrift in the Atlantic. Indigenous people of Britain are decended primerily from either scandenavia, france, germany or italy. Genetically and culterally we are European. Furthermore it is cold and rainy not foggy, if your gonna unsult our weather)

, that lacks vitality and intelligence.

(we are one of the most inventive and intelligent countries in the world, until America (which incidentally was created by british ex-pats) overtook us in the late 19th century we were the most ingenious country in the world by far. Who invented factories, steam engines, trains, jet engines, television, football, computers, radar, telegrams, rubber tyres, penacilin, vaxinations, etc... not brazil)

Brasil should join the EU instead of the UK. So we at least can have some decent football. (You rule France!!)

(Brasil join the EU thats ridiculous, your country is far too unstable politically to join the EU before I even go into geographical reasons why that is obsurd.)

Anyway, England and Britain sucks.

(If it sucks so much why do people in their droves risk life and limb to try and become British citizens i.e imigrants looking for a better life paying thousands of pounds to be smuggled into the country, and polish people in there thousands leaving there homes and families to come here for work.)

They're the worst football nation on earth. The entire world agrees.

(thats nonsense, if we had a decent coach we could match anyone, as for the whole world agreeing, thats a rash generalization without any proper basis)

Another top-quality thread on football.co.uk with everything other than football being discussed, and insults and arrogance from all quarters.


Super.

imho England didn't perform all that well and their press and fans (in general, not all) certainly have their mouths well above the quality of the team...not that the team is bad...just isn't the best in the world...neither is Rooney...

Dull and boring depends on the point of view.There weren't many goals but they were certainly exciting for the fans of England and their oponents (for me it was wayyyy to exciting, my heart was bouncing all arround in the extra time and penaltys!)

The only point i see about this topic is the mostly abuse direct throws, not only when they were outnumbered against Portugal but they do it often and they depend way to much on set pieces, and so it's not all that pretty to watch.
Gerrard and Lampard are much alike....they help defending but none is a true defensive midfielder, they don't get back enough balls in the midfield. I think that's why Sven played Hargreaves, with some results, but left Rooney unsupported
Beckham can't get to the final line and cross...he does throws long balls over and over, Joe Cole had his moments but not enough...he disappeared from games...and Rooney was little danger alone.

they are bunch of [beep!]!!! kiking a bloke in the nuts

Watch the language - yeek

england is great!!!!they invented football, novels nad the greatest playwright ever and the best rock bands !!!!!!!!!!!

as to the underperformance...I would blame it on the greedy Swede and the fact that the season is so llong and tiring...

but when it comes to talent they were second to none
